That's because there were hardly any ATL M88B mandatory displacements after all was said and done. Those few guys that were in fact MD'd from the category were very junior.
Meanwhile, there were a whole lot of voluntary displacements from that same category...but remember that guys using the "VD" tag use the seniority of the junior pilot that they are allowing to remain in the existing ATL M88B category.
Also, ATL 320B is overstaffed. The only way anyone was getting into that category on this bid was via MD, and the only guys getting MD'd out of ATL M88B were very junior who can't even be the plug.
There were five M88 guys who MD'd into ATL 320B--all of them ATL M88 captains.

ATL 777 FO was a huge surprise, not by the seniority, but by the number of positoins filled. They filled vacancies that weren't posted according the the vacancy table in the AE. The memo mentioned 15 ATL FO vacancies, but the table in the memo had 0 ATL 777 FO vacancies posted. They had about 15 bid out of ATL 777 FO, but filled 30 positions.
How does CR spin that one? I'm not going to be the one to ask on Skynet.

Anyone else a little amazed that there were 18 bypasses for bids to ATL777 AND 18 bypasses for DTW340?!? 36 captains knocking down top line pay from the company while staying put. I have neither the time nor inclination to try and track down the aggregate number of months and years the company will spend to pay them without training them, but it is interesting.

I slid into that SEA 330B and happy I did! Love the "Bid want you want, want what you bid" advice. Living in base grabbing that slot is great. Reserve from home!
